The famous rhythms of the Portraits in Rhythm snare drum etudes by Anthony J. Cirone have now been transcribed for a multiple percussion setup (bass drum, four concert toms, two bongos, five temple blocks, three wood blocks, three cowbells, two suspended cymbals, triangle, and gong). This folio, though advanced, is perfect for the aspiring percussionist.

For four players and conductor. Del Borgo introduces the grade I and II percussionist to ensemble playing through homophonic writing for four players and conductor. Standard instrumentation is used, with the fun of bongos, claves, the suspended cymbal or gong and woodblocks. Instrumentation: snare drum, triangles, bongos, woodblock, bells, tom-toms, suspended cymbal, timpani, claves, large suspended cymbal or gong.

For four players. A quartet using the standard percussion battery, this work explores the often-overlooked expressive qualities of percussion instruments. A number of unique but easy-to-learn techniques give the players a variety of new sounds to explore, and the challenge of playing this quiet and haunting piece will bring a new understanding of their instruments. This is a great piece for "in-between" the hard-driving works. Instrumentation: Player 1: snare drum, low tom-tom, chimes; Player 2: tam-tam, suspended cymbal, sizzle cymbal, sleigh bells, 3 temple blocks or 3 mounted woodblocks; Player 3: bass drum, maracas; Player 4: 3 timpani, large suspended cymbal.

The simple setting of this well known tune was done in my first year of working with the percussion ensemble at a Junior High School. I had quite a few problems finding music suitable for their level of development, so I wrote a simple arrangement for them for the Holiday Season. We were lucky enough to have an Elementary School as a feeder school that had hand bells, so the optional hand bell introduction was written. It is arranged for 2 Bells parts, Chimes and percussion.

A mass in the Revised Roman Ritual. Classically conceived, but featuring elements of Brubeck's jazz idiom, this dynamic mass can be performed in many different ways including with a jazz ensemble, as a concert piece, for church service, or its individual pieces could be used in non-Eucharistic worship such as Vespers and other celebrations. The work is set for soloists, chorus, piano accompaniment, and optional handbells and celeste.
